Titel
Coupling measurement technique for symmetrical structures applied to a generic missile mock-up, called GENEC
Abstract
The paper presents measurement results of coupling and propagation of EM-fields in cylindrical systems applied to the GENEC missile mock-up. The measurement technique uses a 1/2-GENEC configuration over groundplane by taking the advantage of the symmetrical structure of the GENEC. This allows a complete field mapping in the center plane without any disturbing influence of sensors or measurement cables inside the GENEC body. In total 100 sensor positions are available, geometrically fixed by a perforated center plate. The coupling measurement itself was performed within a TEM waveguide at the Fraunhofer Institut FhG-INT in Euskirchen. Coupling data was recorded by using a VNWA at various positions in the GENEC center line for different configurations. The results clearly show the influence of the individual (e.g. wing, wing slot, seeker front end) and the influence of integrated PCB and wires.
